Interacting Subsystems for Depth Perception and Detour Behavior

Abstract

Where many models of depth perception focus on the processing of disparity cues alone, we here present two models of depth perception, the Cue Interaction model and the Prey-Localization Model, which involve cooperative computation using both disparity and accomodation as sources of depth information. We then introduce models of detour behavior in which such depth schemas can function as subsystems.
